I'm not sure what shape it would be if not a circle, but I wonder how far off we are from the piracy-as-a-service mentioned in that tweet offering lower rates for showing ads (assuming this is not already the case).

I imagine serious cyclists also carry spare spokes, spare brake pads, spare derailleur hangers, spare bearings, spare cables, spare tyres, lubricant, assembly grease, spare batteries, spanner for truing bent components, hydraulic fluid (if

Yes, exactly. It's a test rather than a functional feature. It's useful in a group context for visually checking safety. However, it can be less safe for shorter people and children, especially on a thick, worn rope - it can end

Bit strange to link to the children's news article, when there is a 'proper' news article from the same source which has already been submitted: > France drought: Parched towns left short of drinking water > https:&#x2

I wonder whether the UI of many git clients contributes to this. Even if very long messages are allowed, from what I've seen typically the dimensions of the fields are fairly small. This could subtly give the impression that you are be

Been using Docusaurus for quite a while to spin up little documentation sites to share with people. Had somewhat given up hope on version 2 as so many features had piled up and it looked like it had become unmanageable. Good effort for gett

> His vision of the future has no sharp edges, no dark places, no erotic frisson. This feels a bit lazy. I don't disagree, but can you name any large scale dominant media/communications organisation that does? In today's s

Working with a language (for first time?) in one context/project/environment for one year is enough to generalise about the average skills of many thousands of professionals?

Taking an atypical narrative stance seems like a low bar, in and of itself, for defining challenging standards. I'm in agreement with parent that it's well executed, but to reach for a lazy description, it's basically "

Interesting piece, but it would be nice if the author credited or cited the publication that most of it was copied from. Didn't even bother to remove its name where it makes no sense in its new context. > A spokesperson for Accentur

None of that is bad advice, but thieves have also moved on from whole bikes due to the value of higher end parts - they are even less trackable than whole bikes, they are commodity parts with only a few manufacturers, they are not worth tra

If SUVs were genuinely solving a widespread problem that would otherwise involve people owning multiple cars, I suspect that we would all hear a lot from environmentalists about them. Anecdotally, when I've met "real" people

Living in a hilly area makes this even more annoying. The wind chill from coasting downhill for 5 minutes at the start of a ride can be awful when your clothing is otherwise suitable.

This product is a hut without sanitation for people with significant disposible income. It is clearly not designed as a permanent dwelling. The stove in the marketing photos is very small and has a door. Without disputing smoke not being gr

I think it is usually accompanied by an implication that your replacement may have fewer reservations than you do, constructing a moral dilemma. It's like when a political figure resigns for ethical reasons. Does the message of the res

It's like when you see things labelled as compostable. Almost everything is technically compostable, but many substances require conditions which can only be achieved when composting on an industrial scale using heat and oxygen. Until

Seems bit unfair to say that the ComputerSpieleMuseum is different to the computer history institutions in the UK because it focuses on games, when the National Videogame Museum opened in 2015.

I quite like how spartan and transparent Bandcamp is when it comes to most things. Discovery through other users has been great and (afaik) there is no blackbox algorithm - "this user bought 12 things you have", great I might find

Out of curiosity, what web3 services are there which aren't NFT e-commerce, or crypto exchanges, at the moment? It feels like we're at a stage where tools like this are preparing for a world which doesn't yet exist, but happy
